Chris Michalak, 35, allowed 3 hits over 7 shutout innings last night in AAA Louisville's win. He improved to 4-0 with a 2.88 ERA and a decent 1.19 WHIP. He's 35 and doesn't strike out many, but his stats are pretty good. Does he have a chance to pitch for the Reds this? Has anyone seen him pitch in person? Is he good or just really hot right now?

Nothing to get excited about there, as far as I can see. Injury protection, nothing more.

He pitched in Indy last year and Im pretty sure that his fastball couldnt break a payne of glass if he threw from 10 feet.

Yes but the same could be said for Mike Flanagan and Jaimie Moyer and they did okay for themselves.
